Politics - what were doing wrong

Elections are supposed to be a time of two candadites run for office, and usually this is all that happens. But as I have seen from the past few weeks, this is not the case from the current election. This was possibly the worst election in the sense of people complaing about the aftermath of the electoin.

As obama has just won another four years in Presidency, most Americans have spoken that they dislike Obama as the next president. I find it understanble that the adults dislike Obama, but I find it quite annoying that children are saying, speaking, and writing on facebook about how much they hate Obama. But they are not really affected by Obama.

Several remarks have been made about how terrible Obama was the last four years and how bad he will be the next four. Several people have stated that it will be hard finding jobs for Americans because Obama will mess up the economy. Although there is a chance that some Americans may have difficulty finding jobs, kids who live in Johns Creek and either dont have a job or have a bad job at Panera Bread should not be too worried with the effects Obama will have on us. We live in Johns Creek, one of the wealthier places to live in Johns Creek, so nothing will truely effect us, maybe some of our parents will be affected by the change but not most.

These assults on the President do not seem to be opinions, but instead influenced ideas from friends or parents. This worries me and others for the future, because these impressionable kids are soon to be the next voters of the future presidents. With these ideas shoved into their heads and not having there own opinions, intelligent future voters seems unlikely.

Although this blog seems biast and I am probably pro-Obama, I have no preference to Romney or Obama. Either president would have been fine to me for I do not care because either one wouldn't affect me personally. I am not trying to influence others about who to vote, but inform others of what might happen if these biased ideas are not turned into factual opinions.

  1. hey cameron great post!
    but I do want to show you something thats a little off topic but it is worth sharing. this is from President Obama's election victory speech, one of the best I've listened to.
    I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos, or the domain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies, and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym, or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you'll discover something else.

    You’ll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organizer who’s worked his way through college, and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. (Applause.) You’ll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who’s going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift. (Applause.) You’ll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who’s working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job, or a roof over their head when they come home. (Applause.)

    That’s why we do this. That’s what politics can be. That’s why elections matter. It's not small; it's big. It's important.

  2. he said that Obama won't affect the kids as much. So he acknowledged that he would affect them, just not as much.
